Caffè Italia has that perfect Italian café vibe. The smell of roasted beans, the people, & the energy make it feel like a real slice of Italy in Montreal. It is the place to be if you want true Italian espresso & atmosphere.

They only serve coffee, & it is excellent. The espresso is rich & smooth, & everything tastes fresh. They also have really good panini. We tried the turkey & the mortadella, & both were delicious & well made.

A classic & authentic spot worth visiting if you want real Italian coffee & a simple but great bite in Little Italy.

Absolute the Best Coffee house outside of Europe. Everytime we visit Montreal this is a must stop for my wife & I. Such a great vibe at Caffe Italia. We just got back from Italy, Rome, Naples & Positano & this wonderful coffee shop could hold its own in any of those places. Besides the great coffees, they offer wonderful pastries & sandwiches. Their cannoli are simply amazing. Their croissants are also awesome. Try the Croissant Sarni.
But the coffees, oh the coffees are so amazing.
Can't wait to get back.

Today was going to be the last time I would drink their over-hyped coffee. No longer will I (we) accept bitter, burnt tasting coffee. Note: both the Cappuccino & Macchiato tasted aweful. Over the years, this place has become incredibly over-rated. The only thing left is the ambiance that lures people into their web. BTW, many others feel the same way I do & just stopped coming here. Sorry to be so tough, it just had to finally be shared. Stop taking your clients for granted.
